These are lyrics from a song I wrote about 15 years ago as one of my birthdays rolled round. And as its my birthday today, the last year in which I can be ‘fifty something’, I thought for fun I would post it again. If the button doesnt appear below you can try clicking on the song title where I give the lyrics below. This is a take with just me playing both guitar parts and no other accompaniment. I have never recorded this properly but maybe one day I will.

Happy birthday Malcolm! We are kind of birthday buds. My “half birthday” is Nov 11. And I’m also in that last year of 50-something. Yup. Next May I turn over. I hope to continue to inspire in my small circle of life; I pray you, in your much wider circle, will do the same! Many blessings for your 60th year. (1957 was such a good year!)

Happy birthday, Malcolm! I love the song, these lyrics especially:
“Now as I watch my life unroll, I read the poems on the scroll
And I do my best to savour every line
And every year that takes its toll, is laid down deep within my soul
But I can draw it up again like vintage wine”
So beautiful. This 60-something woman wishes you many more years of fine wine, poetry and song! Enjoy what remains of your special day. May God richly bless and continue to inspire you.
